Newly arrived Kuroshitsuji SEGA EX Sebastian and Ciel.
Saw these figures (Sebastian Michaelis and Ciel Phantomhive) on sale at used goods store Mandarake. They are game prizes from SEGA, called EX Figures. I’m not too sure about the details but for the price of 2,000 yen a set, I thought they’re quite a bargain. Very beautiful package boxes!
Sebastian stands at about 20cm tall and Ciel at around 14 cm tall. They’re pretty well-made and detailed for the price as you can see from the images that’ll follow.
The sculpt and painting details on Sebastian are good and well-defined, for example, his face, chains and buttons. Definitely something you can only find in authentic figures. Even the little space between his glove and his white cuff where his wrist is was painted a flesh colour. That’s some awesome attention to detail.
There are some scratches-like imprints as you can see from the left photo on the surface of my Sebastian’s pants but they are not obvious unless you scrutinise him. I guess it sometimes can’t be avoided since this is a mass-produced product.
The teapot and cup and saucer set can’t be removed but it is not a big issue since Sebby’s pose would look strange without them.
As for Ciel, he looks equally good and the paint work just as beautiful. No complaints at all. His staff is removable but I would leave it in his hand anyway. since he would also look strange in this pose without it.
They also painted Ciel’s sapphire blue ring on his left finger nicely… Very impressed :)
Oo~ look at those cute-looking shoes on Ciel. And Sebby is meticulous as ever. Look at them shine!
In conclusion, I have to say I’m really happy with this purchase overall, so if you come across it at a reasonable price, grab it! ^^
Ah~ HLJ is taking preorders for the next installment of Grell and Sebastian (Tutor version) figures ^^ A bit more expensive at 1,500 Yen each but now that we know the quality is pretty good, might be safer to secure a copy if you like this series. Looking forward to seeing them! Available in February 2010.

Sorry for the late response. How are you? *_* so busy…. STILL busy!
That’s BEAUTIFUL! *drools* Hmm… I went to his blog… (from the photo of his hands/fingers I’m guessing maybe he is female? Unless those are somebody else’s hands XD) Ooo~ just saw HER first blog post. Okie… it’s confirmed. Kazuki Yone is a woman. See: yonekkyt.blog87.fc2.com/page-10.html Just below the pig picture. She wrote: 10 month 18 day Born ♀
YES Araragi-droid!!! Available in April 2010. We have a long time to save for it ^^
lol~ which episode was that? I’ll just watch that one XDD Yeah, Cordo de oro wasn’t too bad ^^ The heroine tried her best and wasn’t so whiny. The story was kinda draggy. It looked like so much could be done with the story and characters but wasn’t. A pity to me. I dropped it halfway after the blue haired violinist had his performance. Can’t remember the episode tho’. Ah~ I like the “seem-to-have-a-dark-side” long hair bishi. ^^
O~ Noboru is a guy? :O no wonder~ His characters definitely look more anatomically correct (esp. in H scenes LOL) XD~ Kazuki Yone is a girl tho’ see my other comment keke. Hmm I don’t know about Kurahana… my guess is female hehe.
Ever think of making your own figures? Have been -thinking- for the longest time. Hope can find time to FINALLY try something during the holidays.
Wha tell me about it i got more hours too i’m not home alot anymore. ;_;
lol ah so yone is a women!
The person who told me she was a guy was wrong then. Maybe she was wrong about noboru too. For some reason i still think noboru is a guy because yes hes anatomy is really good like sweet pools artists an the way they draw the bodies. Plus the sex scenes look more right as if a porno.*shot*XD
The thing i love most about araragi figure is the hair function. XD
I forgot which episode it was been along time sense i last watched it, when i get a chance an find it i’ll leave a link here k.^^
I agree with the part about there could have been so much more done, yea i wish there was more done. I liked the secound season i think there was only two episodes for it with a new character i forgot his name. I so wanted the heroin to end up with the new character aww….
lol that character he was so mean to the girl. i love the fact that he is played by one of my favorite seiyuus though. He looked better with his hair tied up than down not sure why.;;
wha i tried twice that was 2 years back. I failed miserably. The big problem i had was to much pressure when sclupting. Taht an also i never had a figure of my own before so i didn’t know how they looked like in person from the computer.OTL
Now that i own a few it makes me want to try again but nah i think i need to start from the basics until i build a good sense of how to use my hands an tools. The clay i used was super sculpy it was okay but i think i needed something more firmer.
I’d love to a figure made by you! When you get to it post some photos!^o^
There are alot of helpful sites for learning too.
i have a question but im wondering whats your opinion on this site.
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10099188
I hope it looks trust worthy i want that figure so bad.TT_TT
When i come back from work i’ll do more research on the site.
an oh!! the akira pillow was on ebay!! but it was alot of money!!! Over 100 something….X_X
Also the plushes are back with the two deal.
plus this

black ears!
anyways hope your holidays are doing okay so far, dont stress yourself out! *still needs to Christmas shop*X_X
LOL~ XD Noboru’s H-scenes do give off a porno vibe. Yeah I find sweet pool’s male bodies very manly (^///^) But not all male artists can draw BL well, the artist (小山宗祐 Koyama Sousuke) who did Beniiro Tenjyou Ayakashi Kitan (lovedelivery.biz/beniten/index2.html) He can draw good looking faces but just can’t do lower bodies at all XD I didn’t play the game, only saw the CG packs. Btw, I think the company’s new game has VERY handsome bishis… different artist (敷田歳 Shikida Tose… not sure about the gender since the name seems quite neutral XD) this time. lovedelivery.biz/mebiusline/character.html This is the artist’s blog: marquer.blog54.fc2.com/
*The thing i love most about araragi figure is the hair function. XD*
Me too! XD XD I just received my Death Note Petite #1 chibis. We can remove their heads but can’t remove the front hair like the bigger nendoroids? (Or maybe I didn’t pull hard enough?) Probably Araragi’s hair function comes in extra heads? I don’t mind if that’s the case XD
AHH~ that evil bishi was voiced by Kishio Daisuke… aka Makoto! I just looked it up! lol~ Mmm maybe tying his hair up makes him look more stylish keke. I think in the anime they deliberately left something out cos they want us to play the games as well to get the fuller experience ^^;;;
Yeah I’ve been doing research on figure making too. I also bought super sculpy and find it a bit too soft too but I guess I’m a clay newbie, so maybe don’t know how to best use it. I also want to experiment modifying ready-made figures and see if anything good can come out of it XD
I think Hobby Stock (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10099188) is trustworthy! If you can wait maybe till next January after they launch SAL shipping? Currently they seem to be only using EMS.
Yeah I saw the pillow too… NO WAY I’m going to pay that much for it. lol~ cool! I’ve also put the plushes on watch list XD Are you getting them? I’m seriously considering keke.
I actually have the black-eared Konoe. I bought the package off JPQueen quite a long time back. I was planning to write about him one of these days XP I didn’t display him tho’ Later I found out that this item is also available for order from Animaxis too (See: http://www.animaxis.com/en/shop/product.asp?sku=150701-00). I found the package very bulky. The art pages are actually stuck to the front of package box. It would’ve been better if it was separated. Bad packaging design.
You too! Happy Christmas shopping! XD
lol i remember that game though i never played it either. Yea the faces are pretty but the lower body doesn’t offer much im surprised the artist is male! He should know how to draw the male body its a beautiful thing!XD
The new artist for the next game has nice works so far. I like the picture on website. Thanks for the link!
Aww you got the death note chibis! ;w;
Hmm i don’t think the hair would come off if there different from the nendoroid. I’m thinking for Araragi his hair should come off.
Have you seen the vocaloid chibis with akita an haku? There so cute! I was thinking of getting a set but…i read that there is possibly there may be duplicates in there sense its different from the nitro chibi sets…
yup daisuke plays great yandere characters. I was shocked too when i found out. XD
Yea that was my problem with the clay. There was a another clay that artist use its greyish but i don’t remember the name. I think it can be mixed with sculpty too but not sure on that either. If you come across some good sites let me know.♥
modify ready made figure? *_*
I will wait for that figure then thanks for your help!^o^
kya i want the plushes but i have to wait an see how much money i have left after Christmas…. *painful* if i do get them id have to drop the elve figure. choices…
thanks for the info on the konoe set! Now i can wait to get it.^^
I said i wouldn’t get into any animes for this season an what do i do? Actually got into one while having breakfast. Aoi Bungaku have you seen it yet? I think so far its really good but very deep/emo? made me cry….
If im not mistaking the main character sounds like mamoru/looks like Lights crazy self.
Oh!! an i got my figures in the other day! Omg there so cute but they seem smaller than the other coin chibis. Im guessing because of the head functions. My favorites are the lamento ones an of course makoto an nakid akira. *he remands nakid on my desktop lol* (oh an i was shocked but happy to see his piercing! I had totally forgotten about it!) Sense there is slave akira and military akira maybe there is chance for a Akira in Shikis clothes figure along with Shiki in wheelchair?XD
The extra figure is nice i like but yea hes not doing much. The sweet pool ones were a bit disappointing too but still cute. What were you fav/least favs? Have you switch the heads yet?
I want to do the diorama comics but i don’t want to cut up the box…
oh an i got the plain white t-shirt one!
I finally learn that one characters name (the witch doctor) he was my first favorite from the game before playing. I was disappoint to see he wasn’t shown much in it when i played. Aww i want the twins to be a figure too now.*shot*
Hehehe that’s right… the artist kinda covered whatever was happening below the waists with big brush strokes of watercolour XD And gosh… the characters seemed really awkward during the H-scenes XD Yep, I like the new artist’s character designs! I’m watching out for the game too cos I like the period it is set in XD
Mmm, I’m holding purchase of the plushes for now too. Hmm I think you maybe happier getting the Elf figure? Since you’ve been eyeing it for a long time. I found an awesome site for clay making and modifying ready-made figures (like Figma! Woo~custom action figures of our fav characters XD) Very inspiring. See: chikyuza.seesaa.net
Yep, I’ve been following Aoi Bungaku since it started airing ^^ The stories are very intriguing! The first story is very emo indeed and the overall quality of the anime is really good huh. The character design for the 1st and 3rd story was done by Death Note mangaka. Have you watched all the episodes so far? If you have time, you might like to try Kuuchuu Buranko (Trapeze) too. I think it is also a hidden gem buried among the usual anime fare. Generally, it is consists of stories of patients of a genius (but wierd) psychiatrist. The style is very experimental but once you get past the first episode, it really grows on you. Psychedelic colours, live-action x anime + Seiyuu’s faces incorporated in the anime! <3 At the end of every episode, I really look forward to seeing who is going to be featured as the next psychiatric patient XD kekeke… so fun!
Yea, the figures look smaller, right? But they're more expensive… yeah maybe cos of the head detaching feature as well? Yeah, I wish they also did a Togainu no Chi one-coin of the 1st generation figures and make their heads detachable too. Then we can stick Akira's head onto (normal) Shiki's body XD So many possibilities! Yeah Yukihito's chibi looks kinda dull huh? Along with Youji and Tetsuo. My fav is Tokiya, Shiki/Akira, Makoto gaa most of them! Most disappointed with Youji/Tetsuo and Yukihito x_x I put all of them on display XD but haven't switched their heads yet. Maybe you can scan the box and cut the print-out instead of the actual box? Mmm let's be patient… Lamento was released in 2006… it took them 3 years to release the sub-characters… maybe another 3 years? After the game after sweet pool *shot*
